Hybrid App built for Android crashes on entering numbers into an input box

I'm not sure if anyone has seen anything like this before (I hope you have!) but it's stumped me.

Basically, I have a HTML 5 on Android which has input boxes. Whenever I enter numbers into these boxes, the app crashes.

I have tried this with input type="text" and type="number" but it's no good, the same result occurs.

If I type a 0 then it will crash on the next number entered. If I lead with something other than a 0 it will usually crash when I enter the fourth number.

This behaviour is really peculiar. If I enter text into an input box of type text it's absolutely fine. If I enter the numbers really quickly, it can't cope and crashes. If I enter them slowly, the app copes better and allows me to enter more numbers.

I'm building my app with Worklight and for a Samsung Galaxy S3. Everything else functions perfectly, but this is a pretty big problem as it stands.

Has anyone encountered this or can suggest a way around this? I'm using Dojo text boxes (although I have used standard html 5 input boxes as well and the same end result is reached). Dojo works fine everywhere else in the app.

Any suggestions are welcomed.

in which device you r testing ? – Sandeep P
Even i'm facing the similar crash, to be precise my app only crashes when numerical 7 is entered...It would be appreciated if someone answers this post. – VinKrish
Did either of you find a solution? I am also experiencing same issue testing an app I created in eclipse using both the android emulator and phone device, and found that any time I enter more than 7 sequential numbers in an input text box, the app immediately closes and the Eclipse LogCat dispalys: 01-14 20:52:12.888: A/libc(617): Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV) at 0x0000000c (code=1), thread 631 (WebViewCoreThre) Example input is '1234567890', but, form and app closes when I get to number 9. However, if I enter alphabetical chars after the 8th charactaer (e.g., '12345678AB') it works fine. – tcougs
So what did you do to solve this? - or workaround it? Thanks. – pdschuller

For me, I upgraded to the latest version of Worklight (which is how I'm building my hybrid apps) and the problem was resolved. I should've checked before I upgraded, but I assume the version of PhoneGap that comes packaged with it was a later build (as that's where my problem was being created). I hope that helps you!
